There are several things I'd like to change about my Lexus but, I chose to buy it and couldn't be happier overall with the car. It could be worse, at least we're not driving a Dodge,Fiat or a Mini Cooper!

I think some states still make it illegal to leave your vehicle running while unattended and may not have addressed the feature of auto-start (or remote-start). States where it was (and may still be) illegal: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin, and South Carolina. Other states have a time period on how long the vehicle could remain running unattended.
Personally, I do not have an issue with the engine turning Off when opening the car door. It's just a matter is restarting the engine using the key fob. Big deal!

so even in the murano you have to put your foot on the brake? how is it any different than the lexus? your literally still doing the same thing, our car turns off so its not stolen an inconvenience at best. I wonder if the keyfob for the nissan can be tricked into thinking it's there while its not. I would rather my car shut off and be completely immobile, than have the notion that it could possibly just be driven off bc i was lazy and remotely started it. AHH the wonders of first world problems
I admit its an inconvenience, but it's IMO a better idea

Didn’t day otherwise. My point is that a car can’t be stolen just because it keeps running. And if you can trick a Murano to think the key is in it, you can trick a Lexus. The Lexus system is no more robust than Nissan’s.

I'm not hating on the cars, just saying Lexus really screwed the pouch on functionality here and I don't see how anyone can claim it is a superior feature to the cars that don't shut off when you remote start and open the door.

You wouldn't need it in the garage (duh). Mine is garaged as well and I've never remote started it once from home as a starting point. But from inside a restaurant when it's blazing-*** hot or freezing cold outside, the mall while I'm inside shopping and it's in a parking garage, or maybe i accidentally forgot to lock it when I walked away and don't want to walk back - I can lock it on the fly from miles away, or changing the driver privileges and settings from the app, or it's at my detailers and I just want the extra security knowing that it'll notify me for everything that's happening with the car including any slight change in location. Just keeps getting better...
Never the less, far from superior that the built-in safety feature is that it stops the engine but since you've never actually had to experience it with your own GS than I completely understand your exaggerated ignorance.

Oh I'm sorry, the OP has the RX. You don't even have the feature and speak from conjecture...but determine that it's screwed up functionality and then proceed to say that it's touted as a superior feature when literally no one has.

I've rented other cars with remote start and have friends with cars with remote start, none of them Lexus, and none of them shut off when you touch the door. Calling it a safety feature don't make it so.

sounds good in theory but doesn't explain the tide pods, those say on the box do not ingest and yet we have to tell people not to ingest them.

Well, I'm not of that generation. When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s, they didn't have labels on things like that, cars were made of steel, seat belts were optional and airbags were still a dream. We were apparently smarter than the current generation and natural selection thinned the herd of the undesirables.
